Hello everyone, I have a question, I am going to get a King Betta fish at the pet store, what size tank should I get him because I want him to have enough room, and to kings have different needs than regular sized Betta fish? I am just wondering because I have never had a king Betta before. Thank you all!

Mine's big in a 10 gallon. Get the biggest you can afford and can fit wherever you need it too. Especially if he's got a shorter tail. They're MUCH faster and they're jumpers. Mine can jump 3+ inches. Happy hunting! :D

He's not even trying! I had a girl who could clear seven!

I think a 5 gallon would be too small unless its a squarish shape or like the hex-5 tanks. Sherbert was just under four inches with tail and didn't like the short back-front on his glass 5g. It will vary with the personality of your boy, yes.

Speaking on jumpers I HAVE had one that would on occasion hop up into the light-shield to get at a fly or gnat in it (standard curved plastic). He'd not do it again for a week but I made sure the light was never on when I wasn't at the desk.
